Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

Time quickly passed to the end of November, and red auspicious clouds appeared out of nowhere in the Tiangong Space, covering the four directions.

A moment later, the Lucky Qilin King successfully advanced to the sixth level of the fifth rank.

The Fortune Qilin King, having broken through to the fifth rank and sixth level, grew in size again, from 880 meters to 1020 meters.

Zhou Heng smiled and praised the Lucky Qilin King a few times.

The Lucky Qilin King was also very happy.

Time flew by and it was December. The Alliance Youth Advanced Beast Taming Competition officially began, and Zhou Heng and Li Lang watched the live broadcast together.

In the end, Du Si'an successfully defeated all his opponents and won the championship.

His strongest opponent was an S-level talent awakener from the Qiongqi Meng family who had cultivated his beast taming to the fifth rank, seventh level.

This person just turned forty this year.

Unfortunately, although this person's beast-taming level was one level higher than Du Si'an's, his beast-taming quality was only a lower-level overlord, while Du Si'an's beast-taming quality was a mid-level overlord.

Furthermore, Du Si'an's SS-level talent greatly enhances his ability to engage in direct combat with beast tamers, a quality that is far superior to that of ordinary S-level talents.

After comprehensive competition, Du Si'an successfully won the crown.

Li Lang laughed and said, "He won the championship this year, so he doesn't need to participate next year. He's really lucky. Otherwise, he would have been completely crushed if he faced you next time."

Zhou Heng objectively commented, "Brother Du is quite impressive; his SS-level talent surpasses the vast majority of people."

Li Lang suddenly became serious and reflected, "You're right. I don't even have S-level talent, so how could I dare to underestimate such an existence? I've been too impetuous lately."

Zhou Heng patted Li Lang on the shoulder and comforted him, "You are able to reflect on yourself, which shows that you have made great progress compared to before."

……

On December 10th, Zhou Heng fed the last hundred crystal cores, each containing both divine and light attributes, into the mouth of the Netherworld Dragon.

After one hundred days, the Abyss Demon Dragon finally consumed ten thousand crystal cores, fulfilling the prerequisite for evolving into the Saint-Slaying Demon Dragon.

Half a month later, Zhou Heng drafted a detailed ceremony for the Golden Scaled Fish Dragon to evolve into a mid-level diamond-quality dragon.

Then he called Jian Xu over.

Jian Xu stepped forward respectfully and asked, "My lord, what are your orders?"

Zhou Heng waved his hand and took out a gold card: "I need a large number of cloud-type spiritual items. Buy them for me, regardless of grade, the more the better. Take this card, it contains ten trillion Alliance Coins. If you need more, come find me."

"Yes, ma'am." Jian Xu took the gold card, bowed, and left.

That afternoon, Jian Xu presented Zhou Heng with a jade box: "My lord, this jade box is made of the scales of a mirage dragon. Inside are over 30,000 cloud-type spiritual items, all of which I acquired from various extraordinary malls and auction houses. Cloud-type spiritual items are relatively rare, so I only managed to purchase 30,000 today, spending a total of over 1.8 trillion. If you require more, I will continue to acquire more for you."

Zhou Heng took the jade box and nodded, saying, "This should be enough."

"That's enough." Jian Xu immediately wanted to return the gold card with the remaining eight trillion Alliance Coins to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng said directly, "Keep this gold card. You can use this card to buy anything I ask you to buy in the future."

Jian Xu bowed his head and said, "Yes, sir."

He then bowed and took his leave.

The shrunken three-headed azure phoenix stood on Zhou Heng's shoulder, craning its neck: "Dad, did you buy so many cloud-type spiritual items to help the Golden Scaled Fish-Dragon advance to the mid-level Diamond rank?"

The palm-sized Abyss Dragon flapped its fleshy wings: "Little Phoenix, you're really good at talking nonsense. Anyone can see that Old Deng is clearly about to advance to a mid-level Diamond Nurturer!"

Facing his tamed beast, Zhou Heng made no attempt to conceal his thoughts, directly stating his reasoning: "The saying 'clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger' may be a proverb, but it's not without merit. Although the Golden Scaled Fish-Dragon isn't a true dragon, it's still a dragon-type tamed beast. To cultivate it to a mid-level diamond rank, one must either purify its bloodline, bringing it closer to a true dragon, or strengthen its bloodline. Both methods achieve the same goal. In my opinion, purifying and strengthening bloodlines can be done simultaneously. With these cloud-type spiritual objects, I can proceed with my next experiment."

Upon hearing this, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng in its divine Kun form couldn't help but praise, "Father's idea is truly brilliant!"

The Titan Grand Lord standing to the side chimed in, "Indeed, I feel that Father's idea is entirely feasible."

The Ruins Dragon, which was coiled around Zhou Heng's wrist, also said, "I also think what Father said makes sense."

Lying beside Zhou Heng, the Lucky Qilin King proclaimed loudly, "Father will definitely succeed!"

Despite the flattery, Zhou Heng remained rational: "Don't rush to praise me. Although this idea seems sound, it still needs to be put into practice. We can't be sure of the final result yet."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng conducted an experiment. He extracted a large amount of cloud-elemental spiritual items and, together with various other fifth-tier spiritual items and a small amount of sixth-tier spiritual items, initiated an evolution ritual for several golden-scaled fish-dragons that had been prepared in advance and had already reached the fourth tier.

But they all failed.

Through experiments, he discovered that a large number of cloud-based spiritual objects combined with various other spiritual objects could indeed help the Golden Scaled Fish Dragon evolve, but the ratio was extremely important. Moreover, cloud-based spiritual objects with mixed attributes could not achieve the desired effect and would instead cause the bloodline within the Golden Scaled Fish Dragon to become disordered.

The most suitable companions for the Golden Scaled Fish Dragon are cloud spirits with water and wind attributes.

Zhou Heng immediately eliminated all the other cloud spirit objects, leaving only water-attribute and wind-attribute cloud spirit objects.

He tried several more times, but still failed.

However, he also discovered something very important: water-attribute cloud spirits and wind-attribute cloud spirits must be combined in a certain proportion, otherwise they will either be difficult to fuse or will not be able to effectively stimulate the bloodline of the Golden Scaled Fish Dragon.

December passed quickly, and time soon entered the year 8536 AD.

After New Year's Day, Zhou Heng used the Spirit Source Pearl to enhance the strength of the six beasts. This time, none of the beasts broke through directly, and their levels remained unchanged.

Zhou Heng was not surprised by this.

He is now focusing more on advancing to the mid-level Diamond Breeder.

Even though Hanyue University was on winter break, he did not immediately return to the Canglan Plane, but continued his research.

Because the Golden-Scaled Fish Dragon wants to evolve to the mid-level Diamond quality, he has reached the final step of his research and will soon see results.

More than half a month later, Zhou Heng initiated the evolution ritual for several golden-scaled fish dragons. Although he failed repeatedly, he was getting closer and closer to success.

The evolutionary ritual that Zhou Heng researched was not problematic; it just needed minor adjustments and a trigger.
